ahh, thanks, mister CEO. i did, eventually, get around to reading your mission statement et al. :)quick question: what's the file size limit, and why 8 tracks minimum? will it ever be possible to publish a mix consisting of two tracks over 15 minutes each in length?

That's me swinging a drumstick around at the very last Ergs! show. Easily one of the top five nights of my life. That photo was taken during their final song, a performance of 'Upstairs/Downstairs' that lasted roughly a half an hour.

@everybody

These are fantastic. I'm driving a little over three hundred miles on Thursday evening, and I'll be using this thread as reference for finding drive music.

I figured I'd be able to move these tracks around after I'd uploaded them, so this is what the order ended up being, as I was unable to do that (there may be a method, just one that I don't know). I guess it plays back in random order on subsequent plays, however, so maybe it doesn't matter all that much what order the songs are in.

Christ, this is going to be my new life plan, isn't it? Making mixes for strangers. Well, here's another one: Heavy Metal Warlords, which is a pretty stupid name that I want to change but it sums up the contents of the mix pretty well, so whatevs, dude...

3. P.O.S.- I Play The Matador (Redo)The ringleader of Minneapolis alt-hip-hop crew Doomtree. Also a member of the punk rock band Building Better Bombs.

4. Rotator- Get So ExxxcitedFrench breakcore artist. Asked a goth girl at a local crepe restaurant what she was listening to, ended up getting an invite to what.cd just so I could get this guy's stuff.

5. Curve- Chinese BurnKind of an industrial pop thing. The only Curve song I'm really crazy about, but I think it's quite good.

6. Grand Buffet- Dark AutumnCan't tell if these guys are taking themselves seriously or not. Whatever the case may be, it works.

7. The Alter Boys- Famine GhostAn alt-metal group featuring members of quirk rock group Dog Fashion Disco, and the horrible Nu-metal band Mushroomhead. I don't think I'm really selling this one with the descriptions.

8. 13&God- Sure As Dept. Dust CollectorsThe track I wanted to put on my last mix. Not available as a studio track, or for sale in any form, which is a damn shame.

@Jeff ZeroYeah, way off base on Alter Boys. At least you didn't mention that some douche from Jackass was involved (barely)... damn it!I don't think "alt-metal" is the right term. Don't know if there is a right term. I always think "DFD at a beach barbecue" but that really applies to probably one song on the album.Problem w/ listening to this kind of music. Hard to describe.

So the file size limit is 20MB at the moment although we're going to allow upload of continuous MP3 mixes this summer, as part of a premium (yeah, paid) DJ offering. In the meantime, let me know if you're hitting yr head and we can look into adjusting.

The 8-track minimum is somewhat arbitrary - for the "average" song length (4 min) this then works out to ~30 minutes. If we allowed a 1-track mix (say), then the access by a listener is basically on-demand, and this requires direct (and prohibitively expensive) licensing. Likewise, we have to limit skips to 6/hour and randomize the mix on the 2nd listen by a listener (both of which aren't ideal, I know) to ensure we meet the letter and spirit of the compulsory webcasting license (this is same set of rules as Pandora, fwiw).
